Title is not showing up in browser

The page is loaded and I'm getting an error saying app.js:9 Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list.

If anyone could look it over it would be much appreciated.

Hi Stephen!

I haven't tested it, but I suspect that your issue is the semicolon after document.getElementById("root").

Instead of this:

ReactDOM.render(
  title,
  document.getElementById("root");
);

Try this:

ReactDOM.render(
  title,
  document.getElementById("root")
);

I think that will fix it - but I'm not sure (try it, anyway, though).

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
